cheechy Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi, I've got a Dension Ipod in-car kit to sell on. Suitable for the Concert 2 and Symphony 2 (but may fit other Audi headunits but this would have to be verified). Its been working flawlessly in the car but as the car is going then this has to go as well. Its loaded up with the 2.17 firmware which means that you can control the IPOD from the headunit or directly via the IPOD itself. Also included is the holder for the cradle that fits into the dash to the left of the headunit. I'm looking for £50. Please PM if interested.

cheechy Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I've still got this guys. Bear in mind this will work with headunits from VW as well (probably from Mark Golf IV models or last gen Passat I'd imagine but again I'm not too sure here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediknight83 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 does this work with all ipods? i have the latest gen 30gb black ipod (obviously the cradel wont fit but i just want to connect the cable into my ipod Also.. i want to be able to control the ipod as i would from the click wheel.. not via some crappy 3rd party software where i can only play from preset play lists... is this possible?

cheechy Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 AS far as I'm aware JK the interface output from the Ipods hasn't changed - just the dimensions of the player. The Dension came with an adapter that sticks to the back of the cradle for thinner Ipods. However I'll hold my hands up here and say that I've never seen the latest gen (mines a 4th Gen 40GB - last of the non-video ones) so I'm not sure how these compare to the one I've got. The matter of being able to play from the click wheel - Yes. Its got firmware 2.17 which allows this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymcg Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 AFAIK though, Dension adapters along with all the others, will only play preset playlists as CD 1-5 on the cd changer or all the music on the ipod as CD 6 and you would have to scroll through 30gb worth of tracks. I am pretty sure you cant just pick an album and play it via any of the steering wheel controls or headunit controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheechy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Eh? The firmware on this Dension will allow you to take control of the Ipod and bypass the controls on the HU. How do I know this - I've been using it on my A3 like this for 18 months. Please dont try and contradict me on a fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymcg Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I also had one and it was a load of crap is all I am saying, yes you can bypass the stupid playlist thing. But if you want to access the ipod as you would normally like you were listening to it, you have to actually reach down to the ipod and flick through them. Not too safe while driving! Maybe yours is different..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheechy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Can I ask what this is about - first you say it cant do it then you admit it can but then say its crap? Do you do this when anyone else is trying to sell something? Hey - I think your car is crap since its the wrong colour! If you dont want to buy this and dont have anything to add please go away! If you add anymore without substanciating what you are saying then please can I direct you to the rules of this Forum around buying / selling before you say anymore please? All I can say is that the Dension effort is more or less the same as fitted OEM by Audi - except the Audi effort it doesnt allow you to take control of the Ipod. Very handy if you have a passenger! BTW mods I wouldn't mind a bit of a ruling here please too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymcg Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I was mereley trying to answer JK's post. And I guess what I was trying to say is with the dension you cant just, while driving along, think "mm, I would like to listen to 'album x'" and then manage to navigate to that album via the HU or steering wheel controls. You would have to start messing around with the Ipod. And I feel that was what JK was after finding out. So I was not trying to stop your sale, and apologise if you think I was.

cheechy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 He asked can I use the Ipod from the click wheel if I want too - the answer is yes. If he feels he can control it in safety when driving his car then thats his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymcg Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Right, The penny has just dropped for me, and I apologise! I presumed he meant the wheel on the the steering wheel, now I have just realised he means the click wheel on the ipod! Which of course you can do witht the Dension!

skifly Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 guys - if it helps i just doled out £260 for a denison kit for my new car - so if i am happy to pay this much for what does essentially the same as my old kit for the golf then it must work well...!! Its as good as the audi equivilent (if not better). BTW - if anyone wants one to fit a golf i have my old one for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
